An Inveterate Case Of Erysipelas
Cured.
BRYANTsv1LLE, KY,
Feb. 90, '87.

w. @o@ Of'
Gentlemen -
My little girl was sorely afflicted
with e1ysipelas every spring and fall
for eleven years, continuing for about
two months each attack. It affected
the whole skin surface with redness,
thickening of the skin and often fol-
lowed by q pustular eruption. The
physicians failed to relieve or arrest it,
but the case grew worse every year for
eleven years.
At the beginning of one Of herspells
I commenced the use of Swift's Speci-
tic. In few days it brought out a
profuse postula eruption, which in q
few days passed away, leaving the
child perfectly we'll, and she has not
had an attack or symptom of the
disease since, now three years ago, and
has been in perfect health. Have CIV
en- her few bottles every spring and
fall, and she has had no return of the
disease.
I know that S. S. S. cured her, for
she had it every fall and spring from
the age of three years to thirteen years.
She is now sixteen years old, and has
not had spoil in three years.
Yours truly,

THE EFFORTS MADE TO INDUCE HIM TO run
WOULD NICHOLS HAVE BEEN
DROPPED HAD HE CON-
SENTEDs

Editor of City tom:
Information has reached me of the high
est political significance. 1t is of q char.
acter that, if true, the public have right
to be acquainted with; if incorrect, that
the false report may not do injury tc
worthy gentlemen. l give the statement
as it comes to me:
Messrs. j. NJ. Hollingsworth and C.
Mob. Puckette, of Shreveport, since Gen,
Francis T. Nichols has been fairly enter
ed, with their assistance, in the race fol
the Governors chair, waited upon Messrs
HI. Hearsey and George w. Dupre, Of
the States, and asked if those gentlemen
would support Judge Charles E. Fennel
for nomination as Governor. Receiving
a favorable response, Messrs. Hollings-
worth and Puekette waited upon Judge
Fenner and proposed thut he become a
candite, pledging their support. Judge
Fenner answered that to comply with
their request and entor canvass for the
executive chair would nccessitate his re-
tirement from the bench--a position on
which we'll suited his tastes and inclina-
tions, and that be must decline the pro-
posed honor.
Thus ended the interview.
Is it correctly reported Ifso, the peo-
pie, and especially Gen. Nichols friends,
are interested in knowing it.
Respectfully,

Senator Jonas Reply to Col. Holdings
worth, of Shreveport.

UndeF 0ate OF New orleans, July
25th, 1887, Senator B. F. Jonas adj
dressed the following letter to the edi.
tor of the Shreveport Times
Sir-In your paper Of the 22d inst
| sec a communication from Col. j.
NJ. Hollingsworth, the latter portion
of which is personal to myself and
calls for attention at my hands.
Col. Hollingsworth is an old and
valued personal and political friend Of
mine. I have had his support and
friendship in the past, and reasonably
counted upon its continuance should l
be a candidate again for public posi-.
ton. That I have not forgotten his
good opinion by any official or perso-
nal act of mine is evident from the
fact that he is still willing to support
me for the United States Senate. This
support, however, is dependent upon
conditions, and it seems these condi-
tons must be complied without delay.
They are that I must "come out and
show my colors," "that must align N.Y.
self with the sentiment that opposes
the State Administration" and shortly
tell the people where / stand in the
State fight"
With all respect and friendship for
Col. Hollingsworth, I decline to &C.
cept the dictation of himself or any
other man, as to the conditions upon
which may be candidate for the
| United States Senate. have no COL
ors to show except the Democratic
party, with which I have always
fought to the best of my humble abil-
ftp. l refuse to align myself with
any faction, to faction fight, which
have done my best to prevent, and
/ am unwilling to admit that the good
of the party or the people requires
that the list should be closed to
all aspirants for Gubernatoriat honors,
except the two distinguished gentle.
men now prominently before the
people.
So far as doing work and making
speeches is concerned, / will do my
share in what I consider the best in
tcrest of the party when my judgment
tells me the proper time has arrived.
I promised Col. Hollingsworth no
more than this.
In conclusion I desire to say that
consider the position Of United States
Senator one Of dignity and honor and
trust. The candidacy for the position
should not be made the subject of bar
gains, trades or combinations, and the
peoples choice should not be con-
trolled by the controlled by the con
sideration of the candidates position
in faction fight over State nomina-
ton.
The people of North Louisiana have
honored me with their confidence be-
fore, and endorsed my record in the
last Senatorial election. I do not be-
lieve that they will condemn me now
because do not choose to ASK their
support on the ground that 1 am sup
porting some particular man for the
Gubernatorial nomination or that am
aligned with a particular faction of
what should be united party.
Very respectfully,
B. F. JONAS.
